Suspending a service is one thing. Advertising that it’s due to non paid bills is inexcusable.

Also consider how many bridges you would burn if it’s in error. Or it’s a disputed payment.

This is probably how people who never pay their debts think.

"It's ok if I am late with the bill, they will feel bad for me and never risk me reputation damage by airing out my debts".

But in the absence of a sense of responsibility or obligation, shame might be the only thing that might work to make them fulfill their obligations.

No giving notice is public service against fraudulent organization. It indicates clearly that only proper way to operate with such organization is payment before service is provided.

Paying your bills should be first priority. No excuse, no crying. If you fail, fully own to it and terminate the chain of command involved.

Some companies love to blame vendors for their own non-payment. The blameshift works when users only have the company's (the actual customer's) word for it.

Having basic transparency like "this service is in read-only due to nonpayment" really helps internal users to realize the company is being a bad customer. Which then pushes the company's reps to actually pay for the service.

So, no it's not inexcusable.

If the bills are indeed not paid and the reason I don't see why it's "inexcusable". As long as you're not claiming they can't pay them or haven't paid them out of malice without proof you're just being truthful.

Keeping quiet when it's something simple is more weird to me. God forbid someone assumes massive corpo X is going bankrupt because of a web hosting bill..

By the wording here there are many Netflix shows you could not watch using Firefox.

Why would you want to watch TV in your browser in the first place?

Dropbox actually took action on shared files if piracy was reported. Megaupload made systems that faked they took action.

5g Home internet is getting common

Steam and the ps5 store can fill out my 1 gigabits connection.

Steam can fill up much more

I'm getting my Steam games at 2Gbps, and I am suspecting that my aging ISP's "box" is to blame for the cap (didn't want to pay my ISP for the new box that officially supports 8Gbps symmetrical, and just got a SFP+ adapter for the old one). I pay 39€/M for what is supposed to go "up to" 8Gbps/500Mbps on that old box.

Games from Google Drive mirrors are coming at full speed too. Nice when dling that new Skyrim VR 90GB mod pack refresh

Steam used to max out my internet, but now its smarter about it and starts to decrypt/expand the download as its going instead of doing it in phases. This quickly maxes out my IOPS on even NVMe drives at only several hundred megabits for most games I've tried recently.

In my part of the world 5g actually is rolled out on lower frequencies than 4g so I actually get better coverage.

I feel conflicted about this. I somewhat agreeing with you, but the other hand not needing voice actors is a big help to people with disabilities that prevent them from reading.

Not until recently as such. In Denmark it became illegal to form them from the fathers name in 1828.

OSX would like to disagree with you.

First of all I mentioned most, not all.

Second, while OS X, and NeXTSTEP before it, are technically UNIX, they aren't seen as such by either NeXT, nor Apple.

The focus of the whole userspace experience is on Objective-C frameworks, nowadays also a mix of Swift and C++.

Steve Jobs was famously against UNIX culture, there was even a famous attendance of him at USENIX.

NeXTSTEP was based on UNIX, because Steve Job wanted to win the workstation market against Sun, using UNIX compatibility as EEE, bringing folks into NeXTSTEP and keeping them there with Objective-C development experience, Lotus Improv, Renderman and such.

So Embrace, Extend and Extinguish?

If macOS isn't see as UNIX by Apple, why does the latter continue to submit it for certification?

Is the OSX kernel not written in C?

the modular parts (IOKit) are C++
